David Weiss collaborated with Beau Biden during his tenure as state attorney general in the Hunter Biden investigation.

Connections Between United States Attorney David Weiss and Beau Biden

United States⁤ Attorney David Weiss and ⁤the late Beau Biden had a‌ professional relationship while Biden served as Delaware’s Attorney General.⁣ Their connection is⁤ now under scrutiny as the special counsel investigates ​Hunter Biden ​and allegations of lenient treatment.

Collaboration on Legal Cases

A⁤ recent report by The Washington Post reveals that Beau Biden, during​ his‍ tenure as Delaware ‍Attorney General, frequently communicated with Weiss, who was acting U.S. attorney in Delaware at the time.

“We are always working hand-in-glove ‍with the federal government; there’s nothing unusual about⁤ that,” said Tim Mullaney Sr., Beau Biden’s chief of staff at‌ the state attorney⁣ general’s ⁤office.

Mullaney emphasized that their interaction⁢ was not uncommon, given Delaware’s close-knit community, and suggested that their relationship was strictly professional.

“Everybody knows everybody in Delaware,⁢ and ‌it wasn’t⁣ unusual to see [Joe Biden] at the bookstore, the ice cream shop. It ⁣is normal,” Mullaney⁢ said.

Investigation into Campaign⁣ Contributions

Weiss also previously investigated illegal campaign contributions‍ made to Joe⁤ Biden’s 2008 presidential campaign. Beau‌ Biden recused‌ himself from the investigation, which resulted in the​ sentencing of Delaware businessman Christopher Tigani in 2012.

In a pre-sentencing‌ memo, Weiss described Tigani as the “embodiment of the ‘Delaware Way,’ a concept ⁤described ⁤uniformly by the defendant‍ and others as ‍a form of soft corruption, intersecting business, ⁣and political interests, which has‍ existed⁢ in⁣ this State for years.”

Special ⁤Counsel Weiss and the‍ Hunter Biden Investigation

Weiss, nominated as a⁤ U.S.⁣ attorney in 2017 by former President Donald Trump, is now at⁤ the‌ center ​of a five-year investigation into Hunter Biden. Earlier this year, ‌Hunter Biden​ reached a plea agreement, but it fell apart in court when a judge questioned the ​gun charge diversion agreement.

Last week, Hunter Biden’s attorneys asserted that their​ deal with federal prosecutors to resolve the​ gun charge remains “valid and binding,” despite ⁢previous indications of⁤ an impasse.

Dismissal of Tax ⁢Charges

A ⁤federal judge in​ Delaware recently⁤ dismissed two tax charges against Hunter Biden. However, there is ‍a possibility of future charges being filed in another jurisdiction.

The Washington Examiner has ⁢reached out to Hunter Biden’s legal team and the Department ‍of Justice for comment.
